I thought it would be fun to add some random photos I have taken on regular ‘ole school days the last few weeks.

Learning with Multi-Media …

Vote is still out on our ABC.mouse free trial as I truly do not like a lot of computer-based learning, but it does keep her quiet sometimes. 😀 It is not that I want her quiet all the time, but baby girl is having some “terrible” three-year-old moments A LOT lately.

This may not sound huge to some readers, but this is our 8-year-old reading!!!! He is still in ST weekly, he still struggles with many sounds and he will always be HOH in one ear (though his BAHA helps), but I am just so very proud of him! His reading fluency has really taken off! 🙂

She made me some “brown rice.”

I was going to add more about our math explorations, but I think I’ll save that for a post all to itself!

HAVE FUN LEARNING!!!
